Why is sodium oxide basic?
It is basic because it contains the oxide ion, O2-, which is a very strong base with a high tendency to combine with hydrogen ions. Reaction with water: Sodium oxide reacts exothermically with cold water to produce sodium hydroxide solution. ... Reaction with acids: As a strong base, sodium oxide also reacts with acids.

Sodium oxide is a metal oxide, which are basic in nature, but the main reason is that it releases OH- ions after reaction with an acid
